Risotrante La Quercia In Montenero sabino

We stopped here on our way back to Rome from Rieti, attracted by the excellent reviews. To get there, you have to take a narrow road through the woods, but then you arrive at this restaurant, which from the outside reveals itself to be a spectacle with a breathtaking view. Unfortunately, the rest of the food is average; good but not your typical home-style country restaurant. The interior is well-decorated. I would remove the cart with dirty food in the middle of the room, especially if it wasn't packed. The seats near the bar-style refrigerators (where they obviously put us) are very noisy. When we entered, there was only one table, and the person who welcomed us wasn't thrilled with our arrival (1:40 p.m.), warning us that the kitchen was about to close when we sat down. We started with an appetizer of cured meats and cheeses, very generous but honestly mediocre, but he also brought out some very tasty homemade fried pizza balls. Then we had the first course. The pasta was good, but the sauce wasn't very tasty. I think the pasta with porcini mushrooms was made with frozen ingredients, so I wouldn't order it again. The second course, however, was truly exceptional. I tried the arrosticini, which surprised me with their quality and raised the overall average. The house wine in bulk wasn't good; perhaps it had aired out too much or was stored poorly. I wouldn't recommend it. Prices were average. Maybe we made a mistake; they're not suited to weekdays; they're at their best on weekends. I'd like to come back to try again.

Fantastic restaurant. Simple, home-cooked dishes. Great for lunch with family or friends. Good appetizers, superb first courses. The grilled food is highly recommended. We'll definitely be back. A little outside of Rome, which makes this place a great choice for a quick lunch. Excellent service.

The food is good, the service is a bit slow and the atmosphere is splendid, but it's more expensive than it was a few years ago!

Family-run restaurant with two indoor dining rooms and a summer veranda surrounded by the woods, a country atmosphere with good, homemade food. An appetizer shared between four people, four first courses, one sliced ​​steak, one mixed roast, three sausages and potatoes, vegetables, wine, water, one dessert, and two coffees with sweets. €140. Everything is excellent.

Fantastic location. In the woods. Always breezy. Great place to escape the city heat.

La "Quercia" is a historic restaurant located in Montenero Sabino, in the province of Rieti. It is nestled in the middle of a forest, and the restaurant boasts a spectacular centuries-old oak tree in the garden. The owner, Federico, and his sister, Pina, are an added bonus to this restaurant, where traditional Sabine cuisine is excellent. But a five-star rating definitely goes to the wood-fired pizza. Exceptional. Try it and believe it!

Family lunch. We were looking for a cool place, sheltered from this summer heat. A friend of ours recommended it to us. Highly appreciated advice. Enchanting place, immersed in nature, surrounded by trees and oaks. In this place you can breathe tranquility and peace, in addition to the fantastic smell of good things to eat. The staff is welcoming, polite, kind, and efficient. The food is excellent, abundant dishes. Good value for money. I recommend it to you, we will definitely be back.

Everything perfect! I recommend the seasonal porcini mushrooms

Both first and second courses are excellent, I would say like at home..
